3 Whether your medical device assembly requires an adhesive that is biocompatible and sterilizable or one that meets a host of other performance characteristics Henkel has the right adhesive for your application. Our adhesives have been specified by medical device manufacturers all over the world for over two decades. Our experience, products, and engineering services are second to none, with the world s most diversified and comprehensive line of adhesives, dispensing equipment, and curing systems available anywhere. We offer over forty products for medical device assemblies requiring biocompatibility testing and hundreds of other products for applications not requiring such evaluation. Adhesives can provide design advantages, improve overall product performance, speed assembly time, and increase production efficiency and quality. Loctite adhesives combine all of these advantages, and more. When the total cost of a finished medical device is considered, adhesives are the most economical assembly choice. Loctite adhesives offer many benefits, including: Structural Bonds Ability to Bond Dissimilar and Difficult Substrates Increased Throughput Rapid Fixture and Overall Cure Times Excellent Gap Filling Capability Even Stress Distribution Comprehensive Biocompatibility Testing

4 Our medical device adhesives cover a variety of chemistries, providing you with a wide range of choices and assembly solutions. We know one product won t fit every design, and that s why we continue to create and add new products, new chemistries, and even new technologies. All of our products are available in viscosities ranging from water-thin liquids to thixotropic gels and are compatible with common sterilization methods such as ethylene oxide, gamma radiation, electron beam, liquid sterilization, autoclave, and peroxide plasma. LIGHT CURING ADHESIVES Upon exposure to the appropriate light source, these onepart adhesives cure completely in seconds to form thermoset or thermoplastic polymers (depending on the chemistry) with excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates. Cure times from two to thirty seconds are typical. Light Curing Acrylics These products offer the most extensive variety of properties of all light cure chemistries. Upon exposure to suitable light, acrylics produce tough, durable thermoset polymers. Cured properties range from hard and rigid to soft and flexible. Newer products cure under either UV or visible light sources and respond to low, medium, or high intensity light. Easily automated, fluorescent versions allow in-line detection of the adhesive. Light curing acrylics are used to assemble syringes, injectors, infusion sets, pressure transducers, drug delivery devices, IV sets, oxygenators, cardiotomy reservoirs, blood heat exchangers, hearing aids, anesthesia masks, and blood filters. Light Curing Cyanoacrylates Loctite FlashCure light curing cyanoacrylates are well suited for applications where a secondary moisture cure is required, allowing the adhesive to cure completely in shadowed areas where light cannot reach. Exposure to low intensity UV or visible light provides tack-free surfaces in less than five seconds. These adhesives eliminate the need for solvent-borne accelerators and minimize stress cracking and blooming (a whiteness around the bondline), due to their instant fixturing. Light curing cyanoacrylates are ideal for the assembly of catheters, syringes, pressure transducers, orthopedic devices, infusion pumps, oxygen concentrators, blood gas analyzers, filters, as well as a number of other devices. Light Curing Silicones When exposed to high intensity UV light, Loctite Nuva-Sil silicones cure into soft, flexible thermoset elastomers. Light curing silicones are excellent for sealing, gasketing and leakproofing, and are well suited for bonding silicone rubber. Light curing silicone applications include tracheal and endotracheal tubes, foley catheters, colostomy devices, and chest drainage tubes.

5 CYANOACRYLATE ADHESIVES These one-part adhesives cure in seconds at room temperature, forming slightly flexible to rigid thermoplastics. They are particularly suited for joining dissimilar substrates in almost any combination including polyolefins, thermoplastics, rubber, and metals. Loctite Prism cyanoacrylates are high performance instant adhesives designed for the most challenging applications. The Prism family includes flexible, toughened, low odor/low bloom, surface insensitive, and thermally resistant formulations. Cyanoacrylates are widely used to bond components in the assembly of blood pressure transducers, endoscopes, IV sets, infusion pumps, catheters, orthopedic devices, hearing aids, cast boots, and diagnostic imaging equipment. CYANOACRYLATE ACCELERATORS AND PRIMERS Accelerators speed the cure of cyanoacrylates and are used to reduce fixture and cure times, or to cure fillets on bondlines and/or exposed adhesive. They can be applied to a substrate prior to the application of cyanoacrylate adhesive or they can be sprayed over a drop or fillet to initiate a rapid cure. Primers enable the cyanoacrylate to form strong bonds with polyolefins and other difficult plastics such as acetal resins. Depending on the plastic, bond strengths up to 20 times the unprimed bond strength may be achieved. EPOXY ADHESIVES Loctite Hysol epoxies provide high peel and shear strength on a wide variety of plastics and metals. When cured, these crosslinking thermoset plastics offer superior thermal and chemical resistance, as well as high cohesive strength and minimal shrinkage. Hysol two-part systems are packaged in side-by-side cartridges, allowing them to be dispensed as easily as any one part system. Our new single component, heat cure formulas are excellent for bonding metals to a wide variety of plastics, providing superior pull strength when joining cannulae to hubs or syringes. Epoxies are commonly used on endoscopes, catheters, artherectomy devices, blood heat exchangers, syringes, and dental, surgical and orthopedic instruments. POLYURETHANE ADHESIVES Loctite Hysol urethanes are ideal for bonding metals, plastics, glass, and other substrates. Designed for potting and encapsulating applications, these two-part, room temperature curing products provide excellent peel and shear strength. They are ideal for opaque substrates that require high flexibility. Urethanes are commonly used in potting applications on filters, kidney dialyzers, blood heat exchangers, and catheters.

6 CATHETER SAFETY INCREASED A thermal dilution catheter manufacturer requested assistance for bonding a latex balloon to a rigid, multi-lumen PVC tube. The catheter is inserted into a major vein near the heart to take blood samples, administer fluids, and monitor blood pressure and body temperature. The transducer must endure temperatures ranging from freezing to 110 F, while the balloon must withstand pressures up to 110 lbs. After bonding, the balloon is inflated fifty times to check bond durability. TOXIC SOLVENTS ELIMINATED Loctite 4014 cyanoacrylate secures a latex balloon to rigid PVC tubing. Loctite 4014 cyanoacrylate was selected on the balloon bond, for its low viscosity, thermal resistance and controlled setting time. This allowed time to assemble and place the balloon precisely. The customer reports that the adhesive works so well that the balloon ruptures before the adhesive fails. Loctite 4011 replaced solvent bonding in this PVC tube to copolymer fistula assembly. VETERINARY DEVICE SECURED Animal drugs for livestock management and the introduction of new vaccines and drug treatments have led to new delivery techniques in veterinary device technology. Since the FDA does not require the same standards for animal devices as those required for medical devices intended for humans, manufacturers may use nonmedical products. Their responsibility is to assure that the animal medical device is Loctite 406, an industrial cyanoacrylate, joins safe, effective, and properly labeled. polypropylene to polypropylene, on this veterinary syringe, increasing product quality and safety. Most syringes used for animal injections are made of solvent resistant polypropylene (PP). Because of the difficulty in joining PP, snap fittings are frequently used to connect tubes and barrels. However, the soft and pliable nature of PP often results in poor performance or joint failures. Because livestock is very expensive, if a syringe breaks during an injection it could mean the loss of an expensive drug, as well as internal injury to the animal, should the broken section be swallowed by a valuable racehorse, for example. To permanently connect the components, Loctite 406, a low viscosity adhesive, was selected for its ability to bond difficult substrates. Loctite 770 polyolefin primer was applied to the PP, prior to applying the cyanoacrylate, to obtain maximum bond strength. The bonded parts met every drug resistance and strength test required by the manufacturer. Note: For medical devices intended for humans, Loctite 4061 adhesive and 7701 primer are recommended, as they comply with extensive biocompatibility testing. A manufacturer of a device used in dialysis machines to withdraw and return blood had a production line shut down. The problem: one vendor had supplied out-of-tolerance parts, and the solvent used for bonding could not fill the excessive gap. Their PVC tubing supplier also made a substitution, creating additional assembly problems. The assembly process used solvent welding, a mixture of 90% methylene chloride and 10% cyclohexanone, to join a flexible PVC tube to a copolymer elastomer (TPE). The parts were joined by slip fit, with a gap of.002", using a dip and assemble technique. The assembled product had to meet a psi burst test and a 15 lb. pull test. Loctite 4011, a surface insensitive cyanoacrylate, was specified. It filled the gap and had enough strength to pass the burst and pull tests with ease. Since the manufacturer already used Loctite 4011 in another area of the plant, making the switch was easy. Production goals were met, inventory was used, product quality was assured, and a potentially troublesome toxic solvent was eliminated.

7 SOLVENTS AND STRESS CRACKING ELIMINATED This soft, flexible catheter uses a peel away, splitable needle introducer, a unique catheter insertion system for fragile veins. After insertion, the needle s wing assembly is split apart and discarded, eliminating the need to repeatedly restick the patient. BOND STRENGTH INCREASES 5X ON SAFETY SYRINGES Loctite 3211 improves product quality, reduces rejects and eliminates toxic solvent fumes during assembly of this micro-catheter. STRONG, FLEXIBLE BONDS ACHIEVED Loctite Prism 410 is used to lock the stainless steel threaded fastener into position during the customized fitting of this prosthesis. FOUR-SECOND CURE DOUBLES PRODUCTION The manufacturer was dissatisfied with the process used to bond the stainless steel needle halves to lightly-tinted polycarbonate wings. A solvent cocktail, made by combining a plastic, such as PVC pellets, and adding solvent, to make a glue, was being used. Formulation inconsistency, stress cracking, and toxic solvent fumes were growing concerns. The solution, Loctite 3211 was specified along with a Loctite light cure chamber. The combination proved superior in every way eliminating stress cracking while reducing rejects due to the solvent cocktail s inconsistencies. This lower limb prosthetic device manufacturer builds prostheses made of carbon fiber, a material known for its superior strength, flexibility, and imperviousness to the elements as well as corrosion and stress. They wanted to provide amputees with proportional response, an active heel with natural ankle motion and a 95% energy return that actually powers the wearer through each step. Loctite 410 Prism, a black, rubber toughened industrial cyanoacrylate, provides the flexibility required to maintain appropriate fastener torque on the stainless steel fastener used in customizing the fit of these prostheses. The product is easily visible and removable, and is applied without activators or primers. Loctite 277 industrial threadlocker is used for the larger 1" pre-assembled fasteners to prevent loosening while in use. This customer uses Loctite products throughout their manufacturing facility, to provide strong, flexible bonds on their line of products. Loctite 3051 bonds K-Resin to stainless steel cannulae in dental syringes, increasing product quality. Ready for injection (left), and K-Resin guard covering needle after injection (right). This syringe, with pre-attached needles, is designed to prevent accidental needlesticks in the dental industry. An anesthesia cartridge is loaded into the K-Resin body assembly, which penetrates the back of the needle, allowing the anesthesia to flow into the syringe. After the injection is made, a second guard slides down over the needle, fully enclosing it. Traditional dental syringes involve multiple chances to get stuck with screw-on needles. Henkel was called upon in the design stage to analyze the application, which involved bonding a stainless steel cannula to a K-Resin syringe body. Heat cure epoxies were evaluated, but the heat caused the viscosity of the epoxy to decrease, resulting in occluded needles and misaligned parts. The customer required consistency, automation, and a minimum pull strength of 4.4 lbs. Loctite 3051 was evaluated and proved superior on the substrates. It was easily automated and eliminated heat cures and migrating epoxy issues. Cure time was 4-5 seconds under a Loctite high intensity light cure conveyor. Production and product quality increased significantly, allowing the customer to achieve 4-5 times greater pull strength, delivering 20 lbs. versus the 4.4 lbs. required. A manufacturer wanted a better way to assemble anesthesia masks in order to double production. The substrates they were bonding were rigid cones to flexible, highly plasticized PVC face cushions. The masks were assembled with a cyanoacrylate that required 9 seconds to fixture and several hours to fully cure. Some brittleness and blooming during and after cure was experienced, with rework and rejections running high. A peel test demonstrating substrate failure was required, and no oxygen leakage could be exhibited from the mask after bonding. Rigid to highly plasticized PVC is bonded easily with Loctite 3341 on anesthesia masks. Loctite 3341 proved to be the superior alternative, passing all tests and requiring only 4 seconds for complete cure under a Loctite medium-intensity light cure conveyor. This enabled the customer to not only double production by adding another shift, it also presented a significant cost savings over their prior cyanoacrylate usage.

8 ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS ELIMINATED FOR COLLECTION RESERVOIR LIGHT CURE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES APPEARANCE AND SPEEDS PRODUCTION Hearing aid manufacturers have long relied on adhesives for the assembly of various hearing aid components including face plates and receiver components. Recent advances in light curing technology have allowed for increased throughput and reliability. Loctite Flashcure cyanoacrylates are single component light curing adhesives. With exposure to low intensity light, the Flashcure products cure in seconds offering strong faceplate and componentry bonds. The need for solvent-based cyanoacrylate accelerators is eliminated and the potential for blooming (a whiteness around the bond line) is reduced. Loctite 3211 eliminates solvents and provides structural strength for collection reservoir. A leading manufacturer of blood collection and processing systems used solvents such as methylene chloride for bonding various device components and subassemblies. OSHA and the EPA were encouraging industries to move away from using solvents, and this device manufacturer particularly wanted to eliminate their use of methylene chloride. Since the devices were made of glass-like plastics, their engineers required clear bonds with no stress cracking or crazing. The collection reservoir, a disposable device used to clean and return blood to patients during various surgical procedures, consists of a clear, polycarbonate lid assembly joined to a polycarbonate bucket. Environmental concerns and issues associated with solvent bonding were eliminated with a new tongue and groove design and with Loctite 3211 a safer, faster and more consistent bonding choice. Loctite 3211 light curing adhesive provided the aesthetic bondline the manufacturer wanted. It also provided the structural strength that the collection reservoir manufacturer needed to maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace. Loctite Nuva-Sil silicones are single component, light/moisture curing adhesives/sealants. The rapid cure with exposure to high intensity light makes the dual curing silicones the products of choice for the bonding of the receiver tube to the receiver, and the bonding of the receiver tube to the shell for hearing aid shell fabrication. Loctite customdesigned needle specimens are used to verify adhesive application and performance. ON-PART DETECTION ENSURES QUALITY AND RELIABILITY Loctite light cure products allow for the rapid and reliable assembly of hearing aids. Adhesives are universally used for bonding cannulae to hubs in needle assemblies. It is critical that this joint is well bonded and sealed to prevent fluids such as blood or medicine from leaking. It is also essential that the position of the cannula remains fixed. All Loctite needle bonding adhesives are fluorescent to facilitate final inspection of the adhesive joint, ensuring that the adhesive is not only present but also that the adhesive has flowed into the bond joint correctly. The Loctite Fluorescent Detector is used to perform a present or not present inspection. If more precision is desired, the fluorescence can be monitored using a vision system, albeit at much higher expense. Henkel offers the most extensive line of needle bonding adhesives. These UV/visible acrylic and/or one-part epoxy products are specifically designed for the assembly of stainless steel cannulae to a variety of hub materials including polycarbonate, acrylic, ABS, and polypropylene. The wide range of adhesives includes viscosity, environmental, substrate and performance variations to ensure that there is a product to meet any needle bonding application requirement. INNOVATIVE DEVICE PACKAGING SOLVES SAFETY HAZARD For years, a swab device in combination with a reagent filled glass ampule has been used for various diagnostic tests. Following sample collection, the glass ampule was broken releasing the test reagent for use in the analysis. Problems with the procedure included the possibility that glass shards could cut the technician, clog the dropper tube or get into the reagent. The development of an innovative package allowed for increased safety and a patented product offering the manufacturer a competitive advantage in a very large market. The new product was designated the SnapSwab and consisted of a Dacron swab tip on a polystyrene shaft encased in a polyethylene tube. In use, a quick snap of the swab shaft releases the reagent and the swab is ready for use. It was necessary to reliably attach the swab to the inside of the tube and ensure the entire assembly be leak proof. Loctite 3311 offers adhesion to various swab substrates, resulting in a safer and more reliable device. Loctite 3311, a single component light cure acrylic adhesive, was the material of choice for the new swab device. Rapid, semi-automated processing, and high adhesion to the various swab substrates resulted in a device that was safe, convenient, dependable, and inexpensive.
